No Divorce? The Billionaire's Love Chase! novel Chapter 511

Once, a smile like that from Claudia had belonged only to him.

She used to look at him the same way she was looking at Cyrus now, her eyes crinkling as she called him the most handsome man in the world.

Mark, seeing his boss's expression darken, quickly opened the car door. "Sir, the Ferguson Estate has called several times, urging you to return as soon as possible." York slowly snapped back to reality, his face numb as he got into the car and drove away.

The next morning.

With her car in the repair shop, Rock Sayer, still in his pajamas, drove Claudia to the hospital.

As she walked in, the receptionist called out to her. "Director Watkins, your breakfast is here."

Just as Claudia stopped, a message notification lit up her phone.

It was from Hugh. He said he was passing by the hospital that morning and had dropped off some breakfast for her at the front desk.

When Claudia returned to her office with the food, her assistant, Mira, sidled up to her, eager for gossip. "Director Watkins, which handsome suitor is trying to win you over so early in the morning?"

Claudia smiled, unpacking the breakfast and handing a portion to Mira. "You're the biggest gossip in our entire department."

"So, Director Watkins," Mira pressed, "you're surrounded by so many outstanding, handsome men. Have you set your sights on any of them?"

Claudia shot Mira a look before turning to enter the changing room.

Mira leaned against the doorframe. "Lawyer Ferguson is such a gentleman, Mr. Cyrus is ruggedly handsome, and then there's the young Mr. Sayer, who's just so cute and charming..."

Around nine that morning, Claudia headed to the inpatient department and ran into Shelly and Fiona at the elevators.

Claudia gave them a cool, dismissive glance and turned toward another elevator.

"Dr. Watkins!" Shelly called out, rushing to block her path.

Claudia’s gaze dropped to Shelly's abdomen. Her voice was ice. "Mrs. Quinn, there is a high-definition security camera directly above you. I suggest you think very carefully about your next move."

"Dr. Watkins, you've misunderstood me!" Shelly explained frantically. "I was wrong before. Ann manipulated me into causing trouble for you. But I see things clearly now. Ann brought this on herself; she deserves what she got."

Shelly humbled herself. "Dr. Watkins, I promise I will never bother you again. Could you please put in a good word with Mr. Ferguson for me? Ask him not to terminate the partnership with the Quinn Group?"

Claudia’s expression remained stern. "Mr. Ferguson and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. I can't help you."
